Thank you, A Little Dark, Old Monk is the Most Handsome, ZJC 943434, Quickben, Round Fatty, Arthur's Rose, Idiot? Waiting for the brothers to tip monthly tickets. As well as the suggestion of the "Spear Wandering Soul", I apologize to everyone here. I owe everyone some monthly tickets and updates. I originally planned to add them in the next few days. However, the most important thing is that the cervical vertebra is not very comfortable, so I don't dare to sit for too long every day. I'll make up for it after a while when I recover. Thank you.]
On the other side of the Saron Fault was a vast void, and a thin mist floated on it all year round. The imperial capital of the Demonic Shadow Empire was located in the void, amidst the mountain mist.
Demonic Ring City was just like its name implied. From a bird's eye view, this majestic capital city looked like concentric circles that were interlocked with each other. Demonic Ring City was very ancient. Even though the starships in the sky above it were like a prism, the buildings in the city still maintained an ancient aura. The city was located in the void in front of the fault, but unlike the Babylonian floating island, there were no anti-gravity devices beneath the city. The city was supported by thousands of stone pillars as thick as mountains. No one knew where these stone pillars came from. They seemed to be naturally located beneath the capital, supporting this city of nearly a hundred square kilometers.
There was a very obvious central axis in the capital, which was the Demonic Shadow Avenue. The Demonic Shadow Avenue ran through the entire city. It started from the Shadow Castle, passed through the entire city, and led directly to a tunnel in the Saron Fault. In ancient times, if Demonic Ring City wanted to go to the outside world, it would have to pass through the main road into the fault tunnel and then head to the surface.
Naturally, it wasn't that troublesome now. The Demon Shadow Flying Ship was the most powerful explanation.
The Shadow Castle was located in the deepest part of the city. It was Sbernak's castle. Even in the best of weather, even in the polar day, the castle would be hidden in the shadows all year round because of the towering mountain walls that rose a thousand meters behind it. From afar, it was difficult to see the entire Shadow Castle. One could only see the strange patterns on the surface of the castle that glowed red all year round in the shadows.
These patterns were like the blood vessels of living creatures, so most of the living creatures on Agares thought that Shadow Castle was a dormant living creature.
Of course, this theory had not been verified. After all, the one who lived in the Shadow Fortress was one of the most terrifying people on the planet. The Dark Shadow Fortress was surrounded by cone-shaped Evil Shadow Towers. These towers had no doors or windows. They were like pillars that monitored Demonic Ring City and the vast area around the Great Saron Fault all day long. From time to time, a dark yellow beam of light would shoot out from the top of each Wraith Tower. These beams of light were penetrative, and there was nothing known on Agares that could stop them from penetrating.
The twenty-four Evil Shadow Towers were like Spenak's eyes, monitoring everything in this world. Nothing could escape the Demon King's gaze, even when he was asleep.
However, the entire Magic Shadow Empire knew that Spenak had awakened.
Not long ago, the pressure of the Demon King swept across his entire kingdom like a tide rolling from the deep sea. On the same day, news of Spenak's awakening came from Demonic Ring City. This was truly shocking news. Ever since the Void Skyfire's expedition to Agares, the Demon King had fallen into a long slumber. When Frius rose, he often woke up. However, the time he woke up was very short, sometimes a few days, sometimes a few hours. More time was spent sleeping by the Demon King, and there had never been a time when he woke up like this, when he directly released his aura that was as mighty as an abyss prison, announcing the fact that he had woken up to all the creatures on the planet.
As a result, many people in the empire guessed that Spenak was going to officially crusade against the Black Emperor, but after the Demon King woke up, there was no more major movement. In fact, not long ago, there was a battle between the Demonic Shadow Empire and Dobia's army on the Blood Sea Continental Bridge. That battle ended with the retreat of the Demonic Shadow Empire's army. Even so, Spenak did not ask about it, causing everyone in the Demonic Shadow Empire to panic.
However, no matter what happened in the outside world, he had to be very careful in the Shadow Fortress. Even a breath had to be controlled so as not to attract Spenak's attention. No one wanted to attract the attention of the Demon King, even the soldiers serving in the Shadow Fortress were no exception.
But today, La Mer had to meet the Demon King, which made General La Mer, who was known as the Hidden Devil, feel exceptionally heavy.
La Mer, the Baltic, was like a tall, thin monkey. His hands and feet were long, and his face was like an ape. From the top of his head to his back, there was a row of long and short bone spurs. When he walked, he always bent his back and looked like an old man. But in reality, this general of Spenak was an expert in stealth and assassination. Otherwise, he wouldn't have won the title of "Hidden Devil". Apart from commanding an assassination unit to serve the Demonic Shadow Empire, La Mer was also the intelligence chief of Spenak, responsible for managing the enormous intelligence network that covered the entire empire.
Walking into the Shadow Hall of the castle, he heard the laughter of women coming from inside. The hall retained the style of the ancient buildings of Agares, dark, dignified, and elegant. The tall and long narrow windows allowed the bright sunlight to only leave long and narrow spots of light on both sides of the hall, like two rows of loyal guards. The stone pillars that supported the dome in the hall were carved with stone statues of naked women. It looked like these women were hugging the pillars. The dome was inlaid with crystal stones, the largest of which was the size of a table. At night, the brilliance emitted by these crystal stones was enough to light up the hall.
At the end of the hall was a high platform. There was a stone staircase extending from the platform to the ground. There were a total of twenty-seven stone steps, from bottom to top, from wide to narrow. On the high platform was a black iron throne. The throne was shaped with many straight sharp blades. At the bottom of the throne was an iron statue of two exotic beasts. The exotic beasts were inlaid with blood-red crystals, and from afar, they looked like living creatures. It was as if these two exotic beasts had been carrying the throne all year round. There was a figure on the throne. It was almost one with the shadows on the high platform, making it impossible to see its outline clearly. On each side of the throne sat an enchanting woman. There was a big difference between the women of the Barre race and the men. The men of this race had almost no common characteristics, but the women were almost no different from humans. However, their skin was dark, their pupils were bright red, and there were natural lines on their bodies, but all of them were sexy and beautiful.
Lamer looked at the throne on the platform and recognized that the two women were the sisters who had been personally sent into the Shadow Castle by an adult the day before yesterday. The people they were pleasing were naturally the highest existences in the Demonic Shadow Empire. Lamer stopped a hundred meters away from the platform. Then, he lay on the ground and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
A voice sounded from the platform, "What's wrong, Lamer? You seem to have messed up something."
His voice was flat, almost without any ups and downs, and it echoed in the hall. His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to be whispering in his ears. Lamer didn't dare to get up and said, "Just now, I received news. The Kidds' transport fleet has lost contact. They seem to have been attacked before they entered the planet. After passing through the atmosphere, there was another accident. The entire fleet has been completely destroyed. We are currently confirming the location of the wreckage of the fleet. "
"What!" The voice on the platform suddenly rose by a few degrees, becoming loud and angry. The pressure flowed down from the high platform like a tidal wave, instantly sweeping through the entire hall. The pair of sisters on the throne revealed painful expressions. A soft sound of bones shattering rang out from their bodies. In the blink of an eye, their sexy and beautiful bodies turned into two puddles of meat paste, but they couldn't withstand the might of the Sovereign and died on the spot.
Lamer's entire body also creaked. Spenak's aura was like a mountain, making him unable to breathe. After a while, the terrifying tide of might slowly receded, and the light in the hall seemed to have brightened a bit.
"This time, the Kidds sent me the Heart of the Stars and used the clean water transport fleet as a cover. It should have been foolproof. Who attacked them in outer space? Also, immediately find out for me what happened after this fleet entered the atmosphere. But most importantly, you must find the Heart of the Stars. It is more important than anything else! "
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lamer said in a trembling voice, "Once the wreckage of the fleet is confirmed, I will immediately send a team to retrieve it. I believe the Heart of the Stars should be nearby. But … "
"But what?"
"Well, Your Majesty, according to our deductions. The wreckage should be near the Great Wasteland. "
"The Great Wasteland?" The figure on the throne twisted slightly. "That's a bit troublesome. The Great Wasteland is next to the Lost Realm. If our people appear there, I'm afraid we will alarm her. Moreover, once we go to the Great Wasteland, we will definitely attract the attention of that bastard Frius. He will definitely try to figure out our purpose. I can't imagine what would happen if the Heart of the Stars was obtained by Frius. "
"Your Majesty, it's just a Heart of the Stars. I don't think the Black Emperor will be interested in it, right?"
"If it's the core of a dying planet, of course Frius won't be interested. However, the Heart of the Stars was directly extracted from a young planet by the Kidds with their latest technology. Its energy is immeasurable, and most importantly, it is not only complete, but also young. With it, I can make the people of Adahua Planet suffer, and I can make this bastard Frius taste the pain of betraying me! "
Lamer hurriedly said, "Then I know what to do, Your Majesty."
"You'd better know."
Lamer almost crawled out of the Shadow Hall. After the two towering black iron doors closed, he barely managed to stand up against the wall. However, he found that his legs were still trembling. Spenak was as elusive as his figure. As long as he said a single wrong word, Lamer believed that his fate would not be too different from that of the sisters. Fortunately, he left the hall alive. He swore that he would not step into this hall again unless necessary.
Of course, the premise was to find the wreckage of the fleet and the Heart of the Stars!
Five hours had passed since they landed on the ground.
Allen stood on a rock and looked into the distance. The snowfield seemed to have no end. Even with the help of the light emitted by the floating spatial ribbons above his head, Allen could not see the end of the snowfield. The terrain here was quite flat, but the strange force field that filled the space not only affected perception, but also affected vision. With Allen's eyesight, he could only see six to seven hundred meters away in this environment. As for the scenery further away, it became blurry.
If he was like this, then the others would naturally be affected even more.
The sky still showed no signs of brightening, as if Agares' night was exceptionally long. If it weren't for the fact that Agares had yet to enter the polar day or night, Allen would have thought that the sky would always be so dark. The snowfield was quiet, but silence did not mean that there was no life. The corpse lying not far away was a creature from the snowfield. It looked a little like a giant lizard, except that it had no eyes on its head, five legs on its body, and a thick tail that split into two halves in the middle.
This creature inherited the chaotic characteristics of life on Agares. The place where it looked like a head was actually a part of its body used to confuse its opponent. When Lola cut off its entire neck with the Instant Blood Greatsword and thought it was safe, the exotic beast still attacked violently. Hubble, who was beside him, added another axe, almost cutting it in half before finally ending its life. Afterwards, Allen turned its corpse around and discovered that it had eyes and a mouth under its abdomen. It turned out that its important organs were located in its abdomen.
God knows how many more creatures like this were on this snowy plain.
However, right now, they were more anxious to find traces of the planet's natives' activities so that they could understand their current location and formulate their next plans.
A ball of black mist suddenly appeared nearby, and Belmore walked out of the black mist. After many attempts, he seemed to have grasped the method to open a spatial passageway on the snowy plains. He would no longer open it in midair like the first time. However, Belmore was still very cautious, and there was no need to. He would rather use his legs than use the Spatial Piercing Edge. He walked to the snowy ground and pointed to a corner of the vast snowy plains. "Young Master, maybe we should go there and take a look. I think I should have seen the light. Yes, the light. "
Allen's eyes lit up. There was finally a clue. He nodded and said, "Lead the way, Belmore."
They didn't walk fast, and they encountered a few chaotic creatures along the way. These things had nothing in common at all. Among the chaotic creatures were soft-bodied creatures that looked like sea mothers and couldn't see their eyes, ears, mouths, and noses. There were also spiders with six or seven pairs of legs, but their bodies were like wolves. There was only one thing. These things were very good at disguising themselves. Often, it looked like a fatal part, but in fact, it could be abandoned or even used to lure the enemy to attack.
More than an hour later, Allen saw the so-called light that Belmore was talking about.
The light made him uncomfortable.
No one would feel comfortable seeing a ball of pale green light, including Hubble. The Catus waved their axes and buzzed, "I bet it's not a good place."
"It's normal, because this is Agares." Said Belmore.
"Let's go take a look." Said Allen.
The ball of light looked like it was a few hundred meters open, not far. But in fact, when Allen and the others walked towards the light, they found that it wasn't that simple. After walking for almost a kilometer, they discovered where the light was. In other words, the invisible force field on the snowy plains also affected their judgment of distance.
Standing in front of Allen was a stone pillar. The stone pillar was very rough and its surface was uneven. There was a stone cage on the ten-meter-tall pillar. There was a jade-green flame burning inside. This was the light they saw. Although it wasn't a real light, neither the stone pillar nor the flame looked natural. In other words, this was the trace of the planet's natives' activities. Not far away, there was another ball of jade flame, and further away, there were two or three dots of jade light.
Allen exchanged glances with the crowd and said, "Looks like it's something like a road sign. The perception here is blurry, and the sense of distance and direction are greatly reduced. There are no obvious references on the snowy plains. If there are no road signs, I'm afraid the local natives will get lost. "
"In other words, we will find a settlement." Lola said with joy in her eyes.
"Don't be happy too early. I don't think the planet's natives will welcome us." Allen said as he picked up Gojoseon.
The five of them walked along the jade-green flames towards the front of the snowy plains. When they saw the second lamppost, the snowy plains were windy. Moreover, the wind and snow came very quickly. After a few breaths, their vision had already become abnormally blurry. The dancing light blue snowflakes blurred their vision. Fortunately, the green flames used unknown fuel and could not be extinguished by the wind. Allen made a gesture for everyone to speed up. They weren't afraid of the cold, but they were afraid that the wind and snow would extinguish the flames. At that time, they would have to go through a lot of trouble.
Thus, the group advanced in the wind and snow. When they passed by the eighth lamppost, they finally saw the silhouette of a building. In the wind and snow ahead, under the dazzling jade-green radiance were buildings. But because they were backlit, they could only see a large black silhouette.
Allen had just taken two steps when a dot of green light suddenly lit up in the wind and snow. He stopped and turned sideways. A pale green beam of light brushed past him and landed diagonally on the snowy ground a hundred meters away, silently igniting a green flame. In that green flame, a large area of ice and snow disappeared in an instant, and a pit with rising hot smoke appeared.
Someone in front of them made a sound of surprise, and then an unpleasant voice sounded, "Who are you people!"
"We're just ordinary travelers, but this damn snowstorm has made us lost our way. Now we need a place to stay and rest. Can you let us pass?" Allen said in pure Agares language.
There was a burst of laughter in front of them, and then someone said, "Then tell me, where do you come from and where do you plan to go?"
"I can't tell you where we come from, but what I can tell you is that we're going to the Great Wasteland." Allen said what he wanted to say early in the morning. The Great Wasteland was a gray area, and there were all kinds of people there. If the other party wanted to infer the identity of the group from their destination, it would only be a joke.
Unexpectedly, there was even louder laughter in the snow, and then the voice turned cold. "You're lying. I've never heard of anyone who wants to go to the Great Wasteland wandering to the edge of the Lost Realm!"
